Here we are going to actually ignore the debuffing side of the Occultist and instead focus entirely on summoning creatures to fight for us. While he has loads of excellent skills, many of his best abilities are focused just on making regular attacks more formidable.

This is another class combo with loads of possibilities depending on where you focus your skills. A double-purpose class, the Shaman can both serve as a front-line fighter wielding massive two-handed weapons, or serve as a summoner and backup spellcaster.

Added in with the Ashes Of Malmouth DLC, the Necromancer is your classic summoning class that will always have a pet or more likely, lots of pets to get in the way of enemy attacks.

Just about any Necro build should focus on putting out swarms of undead to deal with your enemies. Check out our full guide to Necromancer builds right here.

While the Nightblade dances across the map with two swords, the Inquisitor takes enemies down at range with dual pistols instead!

These two fit together like a glove, as both have skills that let you pump up your base ranged damage with a firearm.

For a full break down on how to build the Inquisitor, head over here. There are of course many other combos available, and more possible builds even within these combos we presented.

So let us know what you picked and what your ultimate class build looks like! Check out our other guides here:. Grim Dawn masteries class guide.

Ty Arthur Featured Contributor. Lee Melanson July 6, , Samuel F March 17, , Earmarked this weekend for some Grim Dawn gameplay, this should come in handy.

Ty Arthur March 18, , 2: If you liked Titan Quest you are going to love this. Both are good for someone playing the game without any farmed gear, so they are very good for solo play.

The forum is down atm, but when it comes up check the videos and decide which seems the most fun for you. If you are thinking shaman then you have the following options.

Occultist second for pet build or a vitality leech based caster do not recommend the latter, highish survivability bad damage , demo 2nd for the uber dps and still fairly tanky 2hander, occultist or demo 2nd for ranged primal strike.

Can go soldier 2nd for the super tankiness. Soldier 2nd is also great for a ranged bleed build! Pet build and 2h demo are the best of the bunch late game with items.

I like melee style overall for most games like this, pet builds seem to support that pretty well. So i think ill head there.

My Vit Conjurer has a great clear speed for mobs and is taking down Ultimate Sentinel, Fabius, Maiden and Valdaran in less than minute.

You can respec skill points for a fee however the points you spend on the bottom class skill points are not refunded. If you want more info on builds check out the Grim Dawn forums.

Have fun and happy hunting! Cory in the House: Both very different games. If you like Diablo style hack n slash clickfests with heavy emphasis on loot then get this.

What you remember, that is the illusion": There are alot of truly epic moments that you would NOT find in grim dawn. The put it simple: Grim Dawn is just another diablo clone.

The only one close to a thunder storm would be Levin, but it only strikes a single enemy. High Levin will strike multiple times but still nowhere near a "huge thunder storm".

Two very different games but both are extremely fun to play. Get them both if you enjoy both genres. Intel Core iK Ivy Bridge 4.

You can get either summon as early as level 5, and you can max either one by level 9. My personal preference between the two is for the Briarthorn, but part of that might have to do with being less than underwhelmed by the Hellhound when I was playing through the Early Access last year.

Either way, however, both classes offer useful bonuses for summons, the summons themselves, and some healing support. Combine that with items and Devotion passives that let you summon more minions and you ought to have a fairly thought-free build to help you focus on learning about other aspects of the game.

Logic is the antithesis of faith, else why is it that faith defies logic while logic denies faith? I did the same build from the start.

Shaman is arguably the best class, for sheer diversity of builds it supports. Released in , it currently has one expansion pack, Ashes of Malmouth , and a second one in development, Forgotten Gods.

Is It On Sale? Best class combo for solo play? Time for an alt. Or any other combo that would be better for some solo fun.

I would recommend either this or this. Both are good for someone playing the game without any farmed gear, so they are very good for solo play.
